More Books!

I finally started reading Jane Austen again, woohoo! I love Pride and Prejudice, the movie and the book, so I figured I should get around to some of her other books. I have read Sense and Sensibility, though I don't remember it much and want to read it again. I have also seen the movie versions of both Sense and Sensibility and Emma. So, I decided it was time to read Emma. I enjoyed it immensely :-) So I decided to move on to Mansfield Park once I finished. Sadly, it just isn't drawing me in. I am about 35 pages in, and I just can't get myself to keep reading. So unfortunate. I'm hoping I can pick it up again in a couple of weeks and be drawn in.

So, instead of Mansfield Park, I'm now reading Kindred in Death, by J.D. Robb, otherwise known as the alter ego of Nora Roberts. This is the 29th (I think?) book in her semi futuristic mystery series. It is the second to last that has been published. In other words, the most recent one is only available in hardback, and I'm not paying for that, so I am trying to be patient waiting for it to come out in paperback. In the mean time, I am enjoying the most current book. I could say a whole lot about it, but instead, I will just mention that I want my own Roarke. That is all, haha.

Finally, we picked our next book club book! This time I chose the book, and picked Atonement. I saw the movie when it came out, and while I found it really sad at the end, I also thought it was a beautiful story. When I found out it was based on a novel, I decided to buy it. Sadly, it sat on my shelf and never got read. So, when Mo said it was time to pick a book, this seemed to be the obvious choice. I hope it lives up to my expectations though; I would hate to be disappointed. My plan is to start it once I finish Kindred In Death. So that means I will be starting tomorrow. Haha. Actually, I will probably start it on Monday and make it my metro book as I ride home from work every day.

Anyway, I'm off to continue reading! Oh happy day  :-)
